Even in heavy fog this UAV can fly with the accurate route," said Guo Haijun, an engineer who was involved in the development of UAVs. The 'parafoil' aircraft types is equipped with the parachute and able to carry heavy loads and the plane is also suitable to support breeding in agriculture.

In addition, this drone could also support emergency rescue and other tasks. The test is performed in the airport of Hubei province. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN]
